Group NewJeans is making waves even in karaoke rooms.

On the 16th, Golden Entertainment reported that NewJeans has successfully debuted in Japan, becoming a popular choice at Golden Karaoke Rooms.

NewJeans' recent performance at their Japan fan meeting (Bunnies Camp 2024 Tokyo Dome) created a buzz, making a significant impact in karaoke venues.

During the Tokyo Dome concert in June, Hanni of NewJeans performed Matsuda Seiko's 1980s Japanese classic 'Blue Coral'. Following this, the song skyrocketed to first place on the Golden Karaoke chart in Japan.

The instrumental video of the performance on Golden Karaoke's official YouTube channel also topped the real-time views, highlighting NewJeans' immense popularity.

The group has garnered extensive attention in Korea and Japan, with Japanese newspapers featuring them prominently.

NewJeans' debut Japanese single 'Supernatural', featuring the smooth vocals of its members in a New Jack Swing style, has captured hearts. The involvement of global pop star Pharrell Williams in the credits generated significant excitement, leading to domination of major Japanese album and music charts upon release.

Despite being a Japanese single, 'Supernatural' has also gained substantial popularity in Korea, topping not only Golden Karaoke charts but also domestic music charts, marking a remarkable achievement.

Actor Lee Min Ho recently shared an unforgettable and embarrassing moment from his early career, revealing how he became a “falling star” at his first Baeksang Arts Awards.

On the December 25th episode of You Quiz on the Block (Episode 274), Lee Min Ho made a guest appearance and reflected on his rise to fame.

The actor, known for his iconic role as Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers, won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, but it wasn’t just his victory that grabbed attention.

Lee Min Ho recalled, "I was attending the Baeksang for the first time, and I was so excited. Since I wasn’t going as Goo Jun Pyo, but as Lee Min Ho, I styled my hair in a perm and was ready to go." However, things took an unexpected turn when he tripped and fell on the red carpet.

He sighed, recalling, "That day, I fell. I fell and created so many memes. Even now, I look back and think, 'How did I walk that quickly on the red carpet?'"

Laughing at his own clumsiness, he admitted, "I was moving at the speed of light, no composure, no focus. Honestly, more than the joy of winning the award, that day was chaotic and so embarrassing for me."

Though his win was a highlight, Lee Min Ho humorously shared that the incident of tripping overshadowed the excitement of his achievement.

It’s safe to say that while the fall became a funny meme, it also became a lesson in humility for the actor, and a moment that fans still remember to this day.
